All health practitioners notifying cases of gonorrhoea should complete the web-based questionnaire. Instructions on how to access and complete the questionnaire can be found here:Gonorrhoea questionnaire instructions.

Health practitioners working outside sexual health clinics who diagnose infectious or congenital syphilis cases are required to complete a questionnaire and send it to ESR for entry into REDCap (further instructions are in the form). Please select the appropriate form below.

Each month participating clinics send anonymised data on the age, sex and ethnicity of all cases meeting one or more of the STI surveillance case definitions to ESR. Clinics also provide the total number of clinic attendances.

Likewise, each month participating laboratories across New Zealand send anonymised data on confirmed cases of chlamydia and gonorrhoea by age and sex, to ESR. Laboratories also provide the total number of specimens and/or patients tested.

After checking and cleaning the data, ESR produces clinic and laboratory quarterly reports and an annual report with all data reported during the previous year.
